So you bought from another unethical company?
Oh do tell, which car company is the good one? Lolol
Polestar is under pretty good leadership, as with a couple other small manufacturers
It’s owned by Volvo, who’s pretty much owned by Zhejiang Geely Holding Group Co., Ltd. who is linked to forced Uyghur labor like VW is

I agree almost anything is better than giving Elon money, but make no mistake, the auto industry is one massive global capitalistic racket, which will do anything to get ahead
They're all bad, but I don't see how it's relevant here.
Tesla is also connected to Uighur forced labour. The entire auto industry is. It's impossible to choose any car based on that.
